Ordinarily you need tickets (and a whole lot of fringing, cut-offs, body glitter and braids) to enter Coachella, but this year was different.

In their place? A hair look just as questionable, if not more wearable: space buns. Donโt look now, but the โ90s-tastic, Baby Spice-esque beauty trend is back with a high-shimmer vengeance.

Told you.
While the above Coachella cohort proves the look can be worn myriad ways โ two buns or 10, glitter or no, braided or lose, we like the look best when worn with hair half up, half down, for a more casual take. Keep the buns textured, not too tight, and with the ends left out for a look that radiates Victoriaโs-Secret-Model-Off-Duty nonchalance.
